FIFA develops new and enhanced integrity resources for member associations and confederations

Published

on

 

FIFA has launched a new and enhanced integrity toolkit that aims to protect the integrity of football and help member associations and confederations to strengthen and further enhance existing measures in place to protect national and regional-level football matches and competitions from match manipulation.

Building on the successful integrity programme developed and implemented during the 2018 FIFA World Cup™ and last year during the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2019™ as well as other existing education and prevention programmes and measures in football, FIFA and its dedicated Integrity Department have developed several updated and new integrity resources to be used and implemented by key stakeholders across football.

FIFA has developed a practical handbook for its member associations as well as the confederations, which will serve as a practical guide on how to build and/or strengthen their own integrity initiatives to protect football competitions from match manipulation. It outlines the standard steps and best-practice measures to implement successful integrity initiatives on a day-to-day basis. FIFA is also offering a series of topic-specific posters to support these initiatives.

FIFA’s new Integrity e-Learning Tutorial is aimed at educating individuals involved in football about the threat of match manipulation. It describes the applicable regulations that have been put in place by FIFA, explains various forms of integrity-related misconduct and outlines how to correctly report match-manipulation approaches or incidents.

The updated integrity materials developed by FIFA as outlined above show the standard steps and best practices that member associations and confederations should use and implement as a day-to-day reference tool to promote integrity and protect national and regional football competitions from match manipulation.

Speaking about the new resources, Oliver Jaberg, FIFA’s Deputy Chief Legal & Compliance Officer and Director of Integrity and Institutional Legal, said:

“In line with FIFA’s continued commitment to safeguard the integrity of football around the world, it is crucial that we continue to develop new and innovative resources that our stakeholders can use to further strengthen football across all areas – both on and off the pitch.

“As an important step in helping to protect the integrity of football competitions at national and regional level as well as to prevent match manipulation, FIFA is excited to have developed several new integrity resources and materials that provide member associations and confederations with specific assistance on best practice in football. The ultimate aim is to support and develop stronger integrity structures – as well as long-term, sustainable education and prevention programmes and promotional initiatives – that safeguard the integrity of football.”

KONAMI GROUP CORPORATION’s long-established gaming & systems group company Konami Gaming Inc. announced it has become the first manufacturer to submit license applications with the Japan Casino Regulatory Commission (JCRC), government regulatory agency set forth by The Cabinet of Japan. Additionally, Konami is the first manufacturer to file across all applicable license categories. These filings represent milestone events for the nation’s regulatory framework, as Japan’s emerging integrated resort (IR) market progresses in responsible development. As a leading manufacturer of casino games and technology in 400+ regulated markets worldwide, Konami is taking proactive measures in support of the Japan IR market, highly relevant to the organisation’s rich heritage as a Japanese company.

“Konami’s early filing demonstrates our commitment and readiness to engage constructively with Japan’s regulatory framework from the outset. We have approached this process with a focus on transparency, preparation, and alignment with the stringent standards established by the JCRC,” said Lori Olk, senior vice president & chief compliance officer at Konami Gaming Inc.

Construction is currently underway for the first integrated resort in Japan—an expansive development planned for 2030 opening by one of the world’s largest casino and entertainment operators. Against this backdrop, Konami’s early submission positions the company to participate during the formative stages of this emerging regulated market. Committed to the long-term health of Japan’s IR market, Konami has invested significant resources in localisation, documentation and operational planning to ensure alignment with the nation’s legal, regulatory and cultural expectations. The supplier has leveraged its longstanding compliance infrastructure, governance processes and global licensing experience to fulfill detailed requirements of the Japanese regulatory framework.

“This milestone in Konami’s application process with the JCRC represents a significant, coordinated effort across multiple business units and jurisdictions, supported by decades of experience operating in highly regulated gaming markets worldwide. As Japan continues to expand its IR framework, Konami remains focused on supporting regulatory objectives and partnering with stakeholders to deliver compliant, high-quality gaming solutions tailored to the needs of the Japanese market,” said Tom Jingoli, president & chief operating officer at Konami Gaming.

Spillemyndigheden Publishes Report on Illegal Gambling

Published

spillemyndigheden-publishes-report-on-illegal-gambling

The Danish Gambling Authority has published its annual report describing the authority’s work on illegal gambling. In the 2025 report, you can among other things read more about the Authority’s partnerships, website blocking efforts and visits to upper‑secondary education institutions.

Each year, the Danish Gambling Authority publishes a report explaining the rules that determine when gambling is legal in Denmark, and reviewing the initiatives carried out in the past year to combat illegal gambling.

One of the initiatives conducted annually as part of the fight against illegal gambling is the blocking of illegal gambling websites. In 2025, the DGA obtained district court orders to block 334 websites offering illegal gambling. The Authority has entered into a new cooperation agreement with the Danish Telecommunications Industry (Teleindustrien), which provides the basis for blocking mirror sites without a prior court order when the court has already ruled that the content of the original site is illegal.

The DGA also participates in several national and international partnerships focused on combating illegal gambling. For example, through a collaboration with Google, the DGA can report illegal gambling apps in Google Play, after which Google may remove the illegal content. Anders Dorph, Director of the Danish Gambling Authority, also serves as Chair of GREF (Gaming Regulators European Forum), where the focus is on supporting each other in combating illegal gambling and keeping one another updated on trends observed across the illegal gambling market in Europe.

2025 was also the year in which the DGA was once again invited to visit upper‑secondary education institutions across the country. There was an increasing number of inquiries from sports clubs in 2025 requesting gambling‑related presentations for both amateur and elite clubs, and the DGA’s team of presenters delivered 100 classroom presentations last year.

TaDa Gaming has officially secured an online gaming licence from Peru’s Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (MINCETUR),

This marks another milestone in the company’s strategic expansion across Latin America’s regulated iGaming markets and reinforces its reputation as a trusted and responsible global content provider.

Peru has rapidly emerged as one of Latin America’s fastest growing and regulated online gaming markets following the implementation of its licencing framework. With regulatory certainty creating new opportunities for operators and suppliers alike, TaDa has focused on Peru as a key destination within its long-term Latin American growth strategy.

MINCETUR approval was received prior to TaDa’s successful debut at the Peru Gaming Show (PGS) 2026 in Lima, where the company announced its launch with Peru’s leading operator, Apuesta Total, through long-standing distribution partner Bragg Gaming.

15 certified TaDa titles are currently available in Peru, with additional games scheduled for release as the company continues to expand its local offering.

TaDa’s proven success in regulated jurisdictions across Africa, Europe, North America and the UK, as well as Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico, has been built on its highly effective glocalisation strategy.

This combines internationally successful core game mechanics with expertly localised content designed to meet the cultural preferences and playing habits of individual markets.

Alongside its award-winning slot portfolio, TaDa’s distinctive fishing-shooting games continue to attract new audiences through their social, skill-based gameplay and broad demographic appeal, especially to younger and new to iGaming audiences.

Its growing gamification ecosystem is designed to enhance player engagement while supporting responsible gaming. GiftCode, WIN CARD, Hot Hand, Highlights, Daily Rewards and Missions provide operators with powerful retention mechanics that deliver measurable value throughout the player lifecycle.

TaDa’s continued investment in regulated markets reflects the company’s broader strategy of sustainable growth. By working closely with regulators, operators and aggregation partners, the supplier continues to deliver compliant entertainment expertly tailored to local player demands.

Ray Lee, Director of Business Development at TaDa Gaming, said: “Securing the MINCETUR licence was another major achievement in our global strategy to be present in all regulated markets.

“There is strong demand for differentiated and expertly localised content in Peru. We are confident that our brand for safe and trustworthy gaming experiences alongside our reputation for working as growth partners with our clients will enable us to succeed.”
